Sunday Smorgasbord (feat. Daniel Klauser, Copia Doble Systema, Roberto Silva)

This is to make up for the fact that I was absent for a bit, a little bit of everything good.

First is more Daniel Klauser, the up-and-coming Chilean producer with an Andes vibe. He carries his typical flavor into some rocking dancehall on the Rootz EP (Get Flavor Records)

Rootz - Daniel Klauser


Rootz (The Phantom Remix) - Daniel Klauser [adding a disco vibe]


Together - Daniel Klauser [from Antartek Records]


Next is a little bit of Copia Doble Systema, a Danish group that bills itself as "Viking Cumbia Crunk Carioca". Now that might not make a whole lot of sense, but they're absolutely worth checking out, they have an unmatched digital cumbia sound.

Cumbia Colegiala - CDS


Colegiala Pon de Floor (Copyflex Mixup) - CDS


Cumbia Nena (feat. Catar Sys)


Copia Doble Systema - One Day, Revolution by COPIA DOBLE SYSTEMA

And last, I promised salsa, so here ya go: a beautiful 1973 album by Roberto Silva, a samba master that was featured in my Casuarina post a couple of days ago. Click on the picture if you want to download the whole album. Otherwise, here are a few tracks.

Saudade Em Forma de Samba - Roberto Silva

Amigo Leal - Roberto Silva


O Que É, O Que É - Roberto Silva


Inquietação - Roberto Silva


And one last samba jam, though not by Roberto Silva

Sem Compromisso - Sururu na Roda

Locura Boliviana

From the treasure troves over at Avalanche Tropical comes a catchy one. Miss Bolivia is the new project of Paz Ferreira with one of the members of Villa Diamante.

Avalanche Tropical is playing a show tomorrow with Diplo, I'm hoping to catch them. I promise, more samba tomorrow.

Torro Torro Pumps up the Jams

I know I said I was doing samba week, but Torro Torro just released a new Moombahton track with Long Jawns, and I got distracted. They've long been one of my favorite groups ever since I heard Knockin' Boots (below), and realized what a dancefloor banger it was. Since most of these have been released and Moombahton became in vogue, Torro Torro has veered off into Moombahland. This new release shows they still have it, but there is nothing like those 2009/10 jams below. Give them some love on their soundcloud.

The Pump - Torro Torro & Long Jawns


Knockin' Boots - Torro Torro


Blue Blouse - Torro Torro [I lied, this came out early 2011, still pre-moombah days]


Panther (Torro Torro Remix) - Barletta [Are you ready for the Bass?]

Kickin' off Samba Week

Oi,

So a friend of mine just passed me a ton of Samba and MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) and I've currently been attempting to digest what I can of it. So.... I'm gonna only kick it with the samba for a little bit, at least the rest of the week. First is Casuarina, an upbeat samba group from Rio that began in 2001. This is from a 2009 live concert at the Fundição Progresso in Lapa, a fantastic venue; as is usually the case, they interpret a lot of samba classics.

Cabelos Brancos (feat. Moska) - Casuarina [an upbeat version of the 1949 original by Marino Pinto e Herivelto Martins. This song is very, very catchy.]


Swing de Campo Grande - Casuarina [The original was written by Os Novos Baianos in
1972, below for comparison]


Swing de Campo Grande - Os Novos Baianos


Jornal da morte (com Roberto Silva) - Casuarina [The original is phenomenal, and was written by Roberto Silva himself. Really, what a voice!]



Laranja Madura - Casuarina [This isn't from the live album, original by Ataulfo Alves in 1966]

New Zed's Deadddd

Wooooooooo. Damn, I wish I could teleport/time machine to Denver for that show.  I can honestly say they put on one of the best electronic shows that I have seen so far.  This time around Zed's Dead dropped two unreleased tracks: a new remix of Eyes on Fire and Ruckus the Jam, out December 6 on Dim Mak

And a download of their newest released track:
Eyes on Fire vs Jackie Boy (VIP Remix ft. Omar Linx) - Zed's Dead

Saturday Smorgasbord

Shown subordinately sit a selection of songs spanning several styles, it's Saturday Smorgasbord (seemingly spelled silly, if you sought my suggestion). Ok, that was a little bit of a stretch. But here's a few tunes that I've been collecting that haven't really meshed in with other posts but that deserve to be shared.

Riverside (DJ Otto Remix) - Sidney Samson


Colegiala (3Ball Monty Remix) - Douster


This is one of the best Riverside remixes I've heard, from one of the three DJs making up Mexican sensation 3Ball Monty. These kids are 18,19, and 20 years old, and are rocking the Gauchero party scene. I recommend you check them out, you can get an awesome mix over at Fader and their 2010 EP free over at Mad Decent. Speaking of Douster...

King of Africa (VIP Mix) - Douster


King of Africa (Original Mix) - Douster


Afro Nuts (Douster Remix) - Yolanda Be Cool


Gauchito Gil (Douster Remix) - Fauna


These aren't necessarily new, but they're must haves. The King of Africa VIP Mix was one of my favorite jams of last year - he takes Lion King up to a whoooole new level there. And check the others for yourself, Douster is for those who like a little raw tribal bass here and there. And last but not least...

Morgan's Bay - Goldroom


Red Light (Goldroom Remix) - Gigamesh


Goldroom, the solo project of one of the band members of NightWaves, makes the most chill of disco house. Morgan's Bay was a smash hit a couple of years ago, and this remix of Gigamesh's Red Light is the ideal light summer tune. Dude's got talent.

New Phantogram

I was just passed Phantogram's single off their latest album, Nightlife EP, and I can't stop listening. It's a departure from some of their earlier and darker sound, but a very welcome one. Supremely danceable, it earned the award of Pitchfork's best new track in October.

Don't Move

It's worth posting a couple of other hot tracks off the album. Actually, they're all good, but this will give you a feel for it.

Nightlife


Make a Fist
